When millions of Texas public school students enter their classrooms on Sept. 2, they’ll see something new: posters listing the Ten Commandments.
The new state law requiring all public classrooms to display the religious document went into effect Sept. 1, a holiday, when public schools were closed.
KSAT visited South San Independent School District, where the posters have been on display for a while.
“To be in the spirit of the law, we did just go ahead and purchase them ourselves so that we could have them up,” said Saul Hinojosa, superintendent of South San ISD.
Hinojosa said there are 500 classes within the district’s 12 schools. Each classroom has a poster of the Ten Commandments.
